How To Get Sponsored by TM Follow Up…
A couple of weeks back, we asked TM fan and team hopeful Allen Natt what would qualify him to be a part of our team. After much deliberation, we asked him some very poignant and insightful questions that we felt would give us the most well-rounded understanding of what Allen is all about. Below is the conversation that ensued:
TM:

How can I help grow the brand?
While y’all are busy driving mini-Hummers around California’s beaches and/or playing ping pong at an exclusive Malibu Country Club, I’ll be repping Travis Mathew in the streets. Unfortunately due to the fact that the government pretty much shut down online poker, I’m unemployed right now and that leaves me with a lot of time – a lot of time to show that Travis Mathew isn’t just a brand, but a lifestyle. A lifestyle deeply rooted in pure awesomeness. I want to help you convey how awesome Travis Mathew truly is. I’ll accomplish this by sporting Travis Mathew at any poker tournament or cash game I play in, any sporting event that I go to, and any and every hot date that I go on. Basically, I’ll be a walking billboard 24/7, 365 – an invaluable asset.
Measurements & Descriptions:
Shoe Size, Width: 10.5, regular/normal?
Waist: 36
Shoulders: 20.5
Head: 22
Quad: 20
Bicep: 12.5
Eye Color: Brown
Good to go on the feet and hands hair situation
Optional Questions:
Race: I’d love to
Religion: Christianity
Political Party: I lived in DC for the last two years. Politicians party harder than anyone. So yes.
Sexual Preference: Female
Favorite Color: Carolina Blue
Age: 25
Height: 5’11⅝”
Favorite Ride at Disneyland: Tuck and Roll’s Drive ‘Em Buggies
First Girlfriend’s Name and Number: Come on man…
ALLEN’s Follow Up:
This email is best viewed while listening to Fergie’s, “GLAMOROUS.”
You’re welcome. It wasn’t easy but I was able to complete my homework assignment at levels that would make Hermione Granger jealous. Actually, who am I kidding? It was easy. I just went through a normal day, but had it documented with photos. I guess I will admit that the hardest part was the picture of what I look like when I wake up in the morning. See, I’m not what people would call a “morning person.” Grumpy, lethargic, and unforgiving – These are just a few of the adjectives that I would use to describe my morning demeanor. It wouldn’t be right if I made someone face me in my most hostile state. That’s why I was forced to take the morning photo myspace style, one arm out, cell phone in hand, pose, snap. Considering the fact that it looks like I’m wearing one of the smocks that is use when I go to the barber, and that my head appears to be floating, I’d rate this photo 2.5/10.
Thankfully, you asked for more. My brother is pretty much The GOAT (greatest of all time) of professional photographers. He was able to take time from his busy schedule to get some shots of me in ALL of the Travis Mathew gear that I own (one jacket and a pair of pants). Here are a couple shots of me playing sub-par golf (take that anyway you want to). These photos are the real deal. I’d rate them 12/10.
After I put in some solid work at the course I suited up. I thought about going with a tux but I didn’t want to show up the other guests at cocktail hour. I was able to slip away from the party for this shot. The fact that everyone kept asking me who I was wearing and I wasn’t able to say Travis Mathew keeps this from being a 12/10. It still however receives a solid 11/10.

Bubba Watson’s US Open Outfit in Retrospect
The Travis Mathew “U.S. Open Polo” was a feature in the latest edition of the Man in The Black Hat. Who knew a military outfit with a bit of Travis Mahew style could cause such a flair-up. See the story below:
“Just when you thought it was safe to sneak in a quick nine in that tattoo-inspired ‘polo’ shirt, The Man In The Black Hat returns from hibernation this week to bring you a much needed TOUR style update. Since our last update in April, additional evidence of the importance golf fashion plays on the PGA TOUR has come to light. As a prime example, we turn to what was the most talked about fashion event since the Masters — Bubba Watson’s camouflage trousers at Congressional. No one pair of pants in recent memory has generated as much social media banter as these managed, with the look polarizing the opinions of self-anointed golf stylists and regular joes (there’s a difference?) everywhere.
What cannot be disputed is that the buzz Bubba’s distinct military look generated was of fantastic benefit to the charity it supported. Bubba’s clothier, Travis Mathew, crowdsourced a polo design from its fan base to raise money for Birdies for the Brave, the military outreach initiative proudly supported by the PGA TOUR.”

Bubba Watson With a Solid Start at the US Open
It was hard not to notice Travis Mathew team member Bubba Watson when you turned on the US Open coverage this morning. Sporting his limited edition US Open Polo and TM Camo Pants, Bubba posted an E par round of 71. After going steady on his front 9, Bubba fired off 4 birdies in a row and got to 3-under and tied for the lead. After three bogies coming in, Bubba finished his round at E par and currently three back of the lead. Bubba will be wearing his outfit all week and TM will be keeping you all up to date on all Travis Mathew team members playing the Open!
